I know what you mean about the glowing river of knowledge and aknowledgement. That was my first vision of research too. I too am slowly finding that it's much more like the ants, just sort of scurrying blindly and trying to stretch the edges of the map just a little bit further. And I think that's ok. I don't think it needs to be a glowing river. I am happy just expanding my own little corner of the universe just that little bit more.
